The GOP had to cancel the first day of its Republican National Convention last month due to the threat of Hurricane Isaac. With it went plans to show a Republican Party-produced video of Donald Trump sitting behind his desk The Apprentice-style and giving the business to a man playing President Obama sitting across from him. The spoof, which included clips of Obama saying things like “the private sector is fine” much to Trump’s chagrin, ends with Trump finally telling the president, “You’re fired”! The GOP eventually asked Clint Eastwood and his empty chair to help out on the final night of the convention, and the rest is history. NBC’s Today has the Trump video:

That’s the Repugniks’ attempt at humour. Pathetic. Trump is a bloated Ooompa Loompa who’s a Republican because no other party would claim his sorry ass.

The NRP is so out of touch. Donald Trump?

NBC claims to have “gotten their hands” on yet another video. This is hilarious and the Romney folks were going to air it on the first night of the convention. NBC is claiming a scoop. What a load crap! Comcast, what tools.

This is exactly what is wrong with the GOP, they are negative, tear down people, instead of being positive, coming up with IDEAS that help everyone. The party is like a bunch of rich people getting together and making fun of the poor and middle class
The GOP comes off looking like those Wall Streeter that were looking at the protests last spring in the streets down below sipping wine from the windows laughing at the protesters in the streets.

Most of my posts don’t make it on here to well see if this one does.

It’s like the Republican party is daring people to vote for them.

Hey, we’re repugnant, we trip over ourselves to be stupid, we have no sense of humor and worse we still think we’re funny, we hate most of you, we like to whine while we call you victims and mooches and we think Donald Trump is the man…come on vote for us!

Obama is the luckiest man alive.

So,let me get this straight: NBC’s Today Show “obtained” this video of one of the stars of their show The Apprentice, and we are to believe that this is not a promo for his show just like Trump’s phony presidential candidacy was, which, btw, occurred right before the new season of his show. Matt, do you think the 47% are stupid, too?

This sad, pathetic man still hasn’t recovered from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

If only this had been shown at the RNC convention Romney would be leading by double digits today. Leave it to the liberal media and President Obama to conspire with the weather to create a hurricane that caused the RNC to cancel Monday night’s festivities leaving Donald Trump off the schedule and thus sealing Romney’s fate. And since Trump was smarting from his canceled event, he didn’t show up for Eastwood’s bit where he was supposed to show up at the end and set the chair on fire and yell repeatedly at it, “You’re fired and you’re on fire!”
